I seriously can't believe that 2018 is just a day away. The saying that time flies couldn't be more perfect in this moment! Not only is it New Year's Eve, but it's also my birthday! I'm officially 18 today and to celebrate, I'm giving back to YOU! I am partnering up with Purposeful Planner to give away one of my all time favorite planners to one lucky winner! I'm also partnering up with Frame Boutique to give away the heart sunnies in the photo above! You can follow along on my Instagram page here where the first giveaway is already up.

While 2017 was a good year, it definitely had it's challenges. This weekend I took a moment to reflect on this past year, on both the good and bad. This year I finally took the plunge in joining the fashion and beauty community after almost four years of keeping my blog book based and I am so happy I did! I've met some fabulous people through my blog and socials and I've had opportunities I never thought I would have and it's overall been an amazing time.

While I'm not big on new year's resolutions, there are some things I plan on doing and changing in the new year.

1) Try and always see the positive in things instead of focusing on the negative.

2) Change my eating habits to more healthier choices and definitely workout more. It never hurts to better yourself and this year that's exactly what I want to do.

3) Save more money! With blogging, I've had the oppurtunity to start making it into a job and this coming year I want to really save most of it up!

4) Finish up high school this coming summer! I'm home schooled and one of the perks of it is I can take it at my own pace and soon I'll be close to finishing and I can't wait to start preparing for college!

5) Work harder to deliver more and better content to the blog! This year I lost a lot of motivation and creativity and in 2018 I want really hustle on building my brand up!

I am so happy to be moving forward into 2018 and making it my best year yet! I hope you all have a wonderful new year and that it bring happiness, great health, and good fortune to you! Thank you for supporting my crazy journey in this year and I look forward to seeing what 2018 has in store for all of us!

Ahh these pictures are so fun and happy! Happy belated birthday, I hope you had fun celebrating! I love the outfit, the dress and glasses are super cute. Best of luck with all your goals for this new year, I am sure you will smash them!

It is incredible that you are in high school and are making money for yourself instead of getting a job and making someone else rich. You are one impressive young woman and I wish you all the success in life.

Happy Birthday!! Those are all excellent goals. You have a good head on your shoulders, and you are definitely going places, girl. I love the looks in your pictures, that jacket - ugh! Wishing you an amazing 2018 full of possibility.
